Which phone which network(2g or 3g?)? I'd suggest manually create another APN and try.

I think it most probably is a network issue. Tried using data on another phone? Sometimes the phones just take a long while for data to connect.

Restore the settings to default and try again.

Do you have way too many apps that consume background data?(list a few here?) I know this sounds vague but try disabling "Background data" use for a few apps like FB Messenger and a few other apps.

Also try registering your SIM onto the network manually. That too may do the trick. Other than these, I guess only the network CC can help you.

factory reset will help?

It is a big risk and if you are willing to take this then why not give it a shot.

First of all, try if u can see data activity in Mobile Network Signal icon in status bar(up down indicator). If there is no indicator, then its probably APN issue and it can be fixed by Calling CC and requesting them to send fresh APN. If there is indicator for only Up icon, and no down icon, then its your network carrier's fault.

Is your SIM very old? Are you on Idea network?

I had a similar issue with Idea using an old SIM on Sony Ericsson LWW.

The SIM used to work flawlessly on other phones. Other SIMs used to work very well in the same phone. Only that particular SIM and phone combo gave no internet.

Finally the solution was to dump the SIM and get a new one. It worked ever since.

These days they do not charge much for a new SIM and give back a significant sum as talktime.

He hasn't posted back ever since so I might think that the problem is solved.

How do i check the antenna is working prop?I have no trouble making or receiving calls.
There is no sign like H or H+.
Its not only with idea but also with other sims.
And yes the problem is still present.

Download system network info app. See if it is showing any weird value.

it may be temporary problem ... you can do following things:

1. switch off your phone and change your sim cards
2. or you can delete all APN and re-create manual
3. or if your network got connected but access not working than you can delete your host file from System/etc/host (rooting req.)

Have you set up the APN for the data network?

Without that data will not work (but phone and SMS will as they do not need an APN).

You have to go to mobile networks .. Access Point Names in Settings and create an APN with the settings you will find from your network provider.
